Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 201,519, filed August 5, 2015, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue mapping and ablation. In particular, the present disclosure relates to expandable medical devices for identifying and treating local anatomical abnormalities within human lumens, including the bladder. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for intensive treatment of overactive bladder. Background technique [0004] Overactive bladder is a medical condition that affects 50 million people in the United States. Individuals with overactive bladder typically experience increased urgency and frequency, and occasional urinary incontinence. Overactive bladder may result from increased triggering of sensitive pathways involved in nor...
